The wetsuit allows
us to stay fo long periods in water, protecting us from cold even
in extreme climatic conditions.
Its function is simple: it creates a layer of isolating material,
neoprene, between us and the water.
The efficiency of thewetsuit is mostly determined by the perfect
adhesion of neoprene to our body shape.
That's why at Polosub we firmly believe in made to measure wetsuits.
This priciple convinced us in 1994 to create a Rome based firm extremely
specialized in the production of made to measure wetsuits for freedivers
and spearfishers.
Who more than a freediver needs a perfect outfit capable of prolonging
his stay in water without the use of tanks?
A spearfisher today is capable of spending the whole day in water,
even in the coldest months and places and most of all in comfort
thanks to a made to measure wetsuits realized with selected materials
and modern technology.
Our second fixation is with the
quality of neoprene.
By means of constant monitoring of worldwide production of neoprene
products we are able to realize our wetsuits with the best possibile
materials. Often we of Polosub encourage firms like Heiwa, Daiwabo
or Sheico to produce special neoprene conceived by us.
We have followed these two fundamental guidelines, quality of materials
and made to measure outfits, with perseverance and by so doing,
in ten years we have become head of the Italian market and world
leader in the sector of made to measure wetsuits.
Polosub currently produces about 2800/3200 made to measure wetsuits,
60% of which are for the Italian market. The remaining 40% are for
the European market.
It is not easy to organize a firm that produces made to measure
wetsuits because mass-production is impossible. Wetsuits have to
be cut, glued and sewn one by one.
One by one production obviously involves certain difficulties but
also offers many opportunities. It allows us, for example, to personalize
our products.
Each spearfisher has his own special needs and also..... certain
fixations.
Decisive factors in the choice of a wetsuit model are, whether the
spearfisher does shore or boat diving and whether he goes fishing
in summer or winter. For the choice of the type of camouflage it
is also fundamental to consider the spearfishing technique used:
waiting technique, crawl technique, cave fishing or blue water hunting.
Furthermore, the average fishing depth influences the choice of
neoprene density.
All these variables determine the characteristics of the ideal wetsuit
that Polosub will realize for its customers, starting with six base
models each of which is realized in various thicknesses, density
and colourings. Polosub offers 50 different qualities of neoprene
imported from all over the world.
The smooth outside, open cell inside, is our most valued model.
It's a technical wetsuit with no compromises.
It is realized in neoprene, completely unlined and it is preferred
by freediving and spearfishing competitors.
The neoprene of the Forza Tre model is rendered indestructible due
to the presence of an internal layer which allows an external seam
that makes it resistant to cuts and tears.
The smooth neoprene on the outside is denser thant the open cell
internal layer, so guaranteeing strength and comfort.
The Smooth open cell and the Forza Tre models
can be painted externally. By choosing where colours should be placed,
excellent camouflage effects with prevalent tones of red, green,
brown and blue can be obtained. These are the "Camouflaged
smooth open cell" models.
The Combined and New Combined are"hybrid" models which
feature some smooth parts with lined patches reinforcing knee, elbow
and chest areas.
The 'Lined open cell' model is protected externally
by a layer of elastic nylon. Resistant to abrasions and sun's rays,
it is especially suited to shore divers.
